I. They Dismissed Me in A&E. So I Documented It — Then Forwarded It to Everyone They’re Afraid Of.
This email wasn’t an update.
It was an escalation.
Following a degrading visit to St Mary’s A&E, in which a disabled parent was disbelieved and her daughter’s emergency de-escalated by tone, this email:
Was sent to every relevant NHS, Council, and safeguarding lead
Copied both solicitors — creating a protected legal record
Reframed the interaction as not just negligent — but patterned, predictable, and litigable
It opens with restraint.
It closes with contempt.
And in between, it says: try it again, and I’ll wear a camera.
II. What This Escalation Achieves
Reasserts the disability adjustment in a multi-agency context
Documents the second doctor’s contrast to the first — showing that the system has choice, not excuse
Serves legal notification without the phrase “formal complaint”
Signals that the patient — and her advocate — will not tolerate silent abuse no matter how routine the NHS pretends it is
Let the record show:
The oxygen monitor was ignored.
The written adjustment was breached.
The patient was a child.
And the record grew longer by the hour.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because forwarding the email was the real escalation.
Because when you say, “Maybe I should call the police,” and Bcc the archive instead — you’re documenting what courts call foreseeability.
We filed this because:
It formalised what the NHS tried to forget
It included every name they hoped you wouldn’t copy
And it made the lack of reply even more damning
Let the record show:
The first doctor ignored the child.
The second doctor knew better.
The mother responded in writing.
And SWANK sealed the escalation with typographic precision.
IV. SWANK’s Position
We do not accept that the standard of care is dictated by personality.
We do not accept that disbelief is a clinical method.
We do not accept that parents must request cameras to be treated like humans.
Let the record show:
They were warned.
They were copied.
They were read.
And SWANK — documented every recipient.
This wasn’t a flare-up.
It was a data point in a very elegant trend line — and the archive is plotting every one.
